Mountains and Deserts
by Damon Underwood
Grade 6 PIMS
I am soaring mountains and dry deserts
I hear the Aztecs and Maya ceremonies
I dream of a day when everyone here has water
I see the small villages of the Olmec
I wonder if I will ever become wider in the south
I am soaring mountains and dry deserts

Scorch of the desert
by Taryn Smith
Grade 6 PIMS
I am the scorch of the desert among the saguaro cactus
I touch the life of the Gila monster
I hear the ocean crash onto the rocks
I see the starfish in a tide pool
I dream of the three-horned lizard catching its prey
I am the scorch of the desert among the saguaro cactus

Rugged Plateaus
by Josiah Washington
Grade 6 PIMS
I am rugged plateaus
I wonder what happened to me
I feel wars
I want to be peaceful
I see political arguments
I am rugged plateaus

Valley of Mexico
by Anna Trombley
Grade 6 PIMS
I am the Valley of Mexico
I see the copper and gold in my mountains
I hear the Olmec, Maya, and Aztecs
I hoped that I would one day be a free country
I understand that I am now a free country
I am the Valley of Mexico

Rio Bravo
by Noah Pelletier
Grade 6 PIMS
I am the Rio Bravo
I see the Gulf of Mexico
I worry about Mexico City
I have an empire
I dream of the Mayan
I am the Rio Bravo

Different and Scenic
by Kassidy Sirois

I am different and scenic
I see people walking on my streets

I feel footsteps walking on me
I try to stay clean
I am different and scenic

I feel very happy

Country

Warm, Sunny Place

I am a warm, sunny place
I see temples and beaches
I hear tourists and water running
I worry about the economy
I want to be a favorite
vacation spot
I am a warm, sunny place
